Help Support the Construction of Boyne Area Skate Park

The Boyne Area Skate Park is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization founded in 2022. Our mission is to construct a public outdoor skatepark in Boyne City, Michigan. BASP has been granted a location approved by the City Commision, thus enabling us to begin the design phase of the project in Rotary Park. The BASP Board has been working with the Parks and Recreation Department as well as the City Commission to pursue grant opportunities and conduct general fundraising from individual donors. The total estimated cost for the completed project is approximately $365,500.
